Skenfrith Castle is a twelfth century fortress forming part of the Castles
of the Trilateral in the Monnow Valley. However, it was built after the
Normans had conquered Wales, and so wasn't part of the original
Mono River System of defences. It was dismantled during the reign of
Edward IV, and much of the stone was used for buildings in the village.

The castle is cared for by CADW on behalf of the National Trust
